The World is a Wonderful Place
Richard Thompson
I strongly suspect this is played with a capo on the second fret, which leads to some weird chord forms.

Intro:
Fm F#m Fm F#m
FmLovers pair off and they F#mfall into bed
F#m B C#m C#m/B
The same old lies trip off the tongue
A G#mfew lonely Ahearts stand and Dprop up the Bmroom
the Gnight is Cyoung
Envy the bodies asleep on the floor
Dreaming some comfortable dream
And envy the drunk as he falls through the door
For the world is drunk I see
Chorus
C#mYou live and you die
Bthere's no reason why
AThe world is a G#mwonderful C#mplace
C#mThe poor live in pain
BThey're sick and insane
AAh, the world is a G#mwonderful C#mplace
Bridge
BHow does it feel to be C#mnothing
BHow does it feel to be Asmall
Oh C#mhard on that pine, It'sG#m the end of the line
Ah, F#mthe world is a Bwonderful C#mplace
Another year older and nothing to show
Is this what I grew up to be'
Oh you birthday boy here's a pat on the back
YouUre a sight to see
Am I just a clown like the fools gathered here
Am I nothing special at all
If this is called living, IUm folding my hand
IUm sick of the same brick wall
Chorus
Bridge
